OBSOLETE: do not use in new documents.
This package will do nothing in LaTeX formats after 2015/01/01
as the fixes that it implements were incorporated into fixltx2e
package, which is itself obsolete as since the 2015/01/01 release
these fixes are in format.
a) Fix mark handling so \firstmark is taken from the first column
if that column has marks at all.
(A copy of Piet van Oostrum's fixmarks package, more or less.)
b) Keep two column floats like figure* in sequence with single
column floats like figure.
(Modelled on Ed Sznyter's 2.09 package, fixfloats.)

OBSOLETE: do not use in new doc­u­ments.

This pack­age will do noth­ing in LaTeX for­mats af­ter 2015/01/01
as the fixes that it im­ple­ments were in­cor­po­rated into the
fixltx2e
pack­age, which is it­self ob­so­lete as since the 2015/01/01
re­lease these fixes are in the LaTeX for­mat it­self.

Fix mark han­dling so that \first­mark is taken from the first
col­umn if that col­umn has any marks at all; keep two col­umn
floats like fig­ure* in se­quence with sin­gle col­umn floats
like fig­ure.
